How do you feel about 'unregistered' posters?
You guys hash this one out and we'll go with whatever the majority decides. Thanks for coming up with the idea for this poll susie. The only thing that I may not be able to do is to show the ip's of unregistered posters. I checked the administrative settings for this board program and cannot find the option for only showing the ip of unregistered users, it may be that we can only show everyone's ip or no one's. I'll keep looking through the documentation and hacks info for another option...susiedriver said:How do you feel about 'unregistered' posters?
That will be the result if the unregistered posters are voted out.double_standard said:how about this option Cheryl,simply make it impossible to post unless you register...problem solved, like the chat room is now.
Unregistered users can no longer vote in polls. Thanks to you guys for pointing out that they were previously allowed to vote.iloadthetruck said:Can unregistered users vote in this poll? Won't that eventually skew the results?
traveler said:Just a comment, I hate to see unregistered posters go. At times they add some interesting and useful information and comments. Sure, there are some idiots that hide behind unregistered but there are also some that register. Remember the helper who was never a helper? There are many sites that I do not participate in since you must register. There are enough people who know my information and I limit myself on adding more.
Contemplate... do we throw out unregistered voters in the USA?![]()
roboto, the reason for the third choice, is by having IP addresses shown, you can differentiate between posters. Right now you can have a slew of 'unregistered' and it can become difficult to tell them apart. Also, there is the fact that management has posted from UPS IPs posing as hourly. It's not that hard to get a Yahoo e-mail and register.mr_roboto said:this poll uses divide and conquer tactics so popular with today's politicians.
The original poster desires to ban unregistered posters and gives that as one option. but those who believe the unregistered should be allowed are given 2 choices to split them up and thin them out.
to be fair there should only be two choices to this yes or no question.
Should the unregistered poster be banned or allowed?
(1) banned
(2) allowed
I vote for (2) allowed

As of right now I can't find a setting or hack that will only show the ip for unregistered posters. Our community is a pretty resourceful group so perhaps someone else knows how and will help us out.
